DCC Decoders

The SoundTraxx 829100 is the Tsunami SoundCar — a 16-bit digital sound decoder built for rolling stock rather than locomotives. It has no motor drive at all; it exists to give your cabooses, passenger cars, reefers and stock cars their own sound and lighting. Because the sound comes from the train instead of the engine, you get running sound that moves down the consist: clickety-clack over the rail joints, flange squeal on curves, brake cylinders and coupler clank. SoundTraxx suggests roughly one SoundCar per third or fourth car rather than one in every car. Features 11 air horns and whistles: Nathan K5LA, K5LA Amtrak, K3L, K3LA and P3; Wabco AA2 and E2; Leslie S2B; Hancock air whistle; and two caboose whistles for shoving-platform work 5 bells: modern cast, bronze cast, cast, electronic and gong Clickety-clack configurable for 2-, 4- and 6-axle cars, plus flat spots, flange squeal and brake squeal Full brake system: independent and train brakes, brake cylinders, retainer bleed-off, train line charge, hand brake tie-down and untie, and an emergency “big hole” valve on E-stop Couplers: clank, pin drop and release with glad-hand separation Generators that behave correctly per car type — intermittent for a reefer, constant for a passenger car BeastBanter livestock: cattle or sheep, with a “spook the livestock” function for stock cars 4 lighting outputs with Hyperlight effects including FRED, firebox and stove flicker, and interior/exterior lighting CurrentKeeper ready — quick-plug socket for the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 829100 Model: Tsunami SoundCar Built For: Rolling stock — cabooses, passenger cars, cab cars, reefers, stock cars Scale: N through G scale Decoder Size: 47 x 14 x 8.5mm Connection: Universal-style board with bare, NMRA colour-coded wires Motor Drive: None — this decoder does not drive a motor Current Draw: 15 – 25mA at 14V Function Outputs: 4 (100mA each) Audio Amplifier: 8-Ohm speaker required (not included) Sound Resolution: 16-bit Functions: F0 – F12 Shop the full SoundTraxx range, compare every DCC decoder we stock, browse DCC speakers, or find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track. FAQ Does this go in a locomotive?No. The SoundCar has no motor drive — it is made for the cars behind the engine. Put a Tsunami2, Blunami or Econami in the locomotive and a SoundCar in the train. Do I need one in every car?No. SoundTraxx recommends about one per third or fourth car. The effect is a train that sounds alive along its length, not a row of identical speakers. Which cars is it for?All rolling stock. Cabooses, passenger and cab cars, reefers and stock cars. The generator behaves differently by car type and the clickety-clack is set by axle count, so it can be tuned per car. Is it a Tsunami2?No. It is the Tsunami SoundCar — 16-bit sound, but its own product built for rolling stock, not a Tsunami2 variant. Is a speaker included?No. Use any 8-ohm speaker that fits the car.

While LokPilot 5 decoders can undoubtedly meet all imaginable requirements of even the most demanding experts, many model railway eras are looking for a robust, high-quality DCC decoder for your standard requirements, which should also be affordable. The LokPilot 5 Basic was developed with the aim of offering a modern decoder with a reasonable range of functions at a reasonable price. The LokPilot 5 Basic comes in two versions: In addition to a version with an 8-pin NEM interface, a version with 21MTC interface is also available. This makes the LokPilot 5 Basic particularly suitable for use in track H0 vehicles. Modes The LokPilot 5 Basic is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 20 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital center. It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255. The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is also possible.The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used on analog DC webs. The maximum speed can be set separately.The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted. Functions The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 reinforced function outputs in each version. In the 21MTC interface, there are 8 logic-level outputs at the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. Motor The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – The typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. Operational reliability On request, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail cuts. Protection Of course, all function outputs as well as the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.

The app is free for iOS and Android. This version is the most compact decoder in the Blunami line — small enough for N scale, suited to N, HO and small S scale. Features 9 EMD prime movers: EMD 567 No Transition, EMD 567 Non-Turbo, EMD 567 Turbo, EMD Dual 567, EMD 645 Non-Turbo, EMD 645 Turbo, EMD Dual 645 Turbo, EMD 710 Turbo, EMD 710 G3C-T2 Over 40 air horns and 13 bells, plus air compressors, couplers and dynamos Bluetooth control from the free Blunami app (iOS and Android) — over 300 settings without editing a single CV by hand Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) automatically matches exhaust volume and RPM to the load on the motor, and the app calibrates it for you Three braking types: independent, train and dynamic braking Hyperdrive2 motor control for smooth, creep-speed switching Over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects across 4 function outputs 16 polyphonic sound channels on a 32-bit processor, with a 7-band equalizer and adjustable reverb CurrentKeeper ready — works with the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 885601 Model: BLU-1100 Blunami Sound Set: EMD Diesel Scale: N, HO and small S scale Decoder Size: 31 x 10.5 x 5mm Connection: Hardwire (single wires) Max.

A speaker is not included — browse DCC speakers rated 1 watt or better, and find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track and turnouts. FAQ Do I need a DCC system to use this?No. That is the point of Blunami. It runs on a plain DC power pack with no command station at all — you control it from the free Blunami app over Bluetooth. It is also a fully NMRA-compliant DCC decoder if you already run DCC. Does the app work on Android?Yes. The free Blunami app is published for both iOS and Android. (Some older listings and dealer pages still say iOS only — that is out of date.) Is a speaker included?No. Pair it with an 8-ohm speaker rated 1 watt or better that fits your shell. Which prime movers do I get?All 9 listed above, selectable in the app or via CV 123. You are not locked to one engine sound — pick whichever matches your prototype. EMD or EMD-2 — which do I want?This is the EMD set: the common 567, 645 and 710 prime movers. The separate EMD-2 set carries a second group of less-common variants with specific cylinder counts. Check your locomotive’s prime mover against the list above before ordering. Will it fit my locomotive?This one measures 31 x 10.5 x 5mm and connects by hardwire (single wires). Check the space in your shell against that footprint before ordering — other Blunami versions use different connectors and sizes.
